Silverstone Classic 2017: our top 10 cars to look out for

Formula Ford: For 50 years Formula Ford has been the breeding ground of future F1 stars. Celebrating that golden anniversary, a capacity grid of 54 FF1600s dating back to the late Sixties and early Seventies will be renewing old rivalries at the Classic. Look out for former BBC Top Gear presenter Tiff Needell, who’s back behind the wheel of his Lotus 69F. Back in 1971, he won the red racer - pictured left at the head of a field of Formula Ford cars - in a competition, launching both his racing and subsequent TV careers.
